| STEPS
TO TAKE |
|
| STEP
1 |
| If
the old brochure you are using has only 2 or 3 panels
you will need to attach with scotch-tape the additional
page(s) to produce 4 panels to make this lantern. |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| STEP
2 |
|
STEP
3 |
|
|
 |
|
 |
|
|
|
| Cover
with decorative or coloured paper of your choice one side of
the brochure that is going to be the external surface of your
lantern. Use “spray-mount” to glue the paper on for
best effect. |
|
With
a pencil, draw “hearts” on the decorative paper .
Use templates to make sure the shapes are of the same size throughout.
Then cut out the heart-shapes along the pencil outline. Your
lantern light will now be shining through the “heart-shaped
windows” you have created. |

|
STEP
5 |
|
|
 |
|
 |
|
|
|
| Turn
over to the back surface and cut the chopsticks to match the
length of each side of the perimeter of your lantern so that
when the sticks are joined, they form a frame for the lantern.
Glue the sticks to the back surface of your lantern. |
|
When
all the sticks are glued up, the back of your lantern looks
like this. |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| STEP
6 |
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Join
panel one and panel four with scotch-tape – and you’d
have a lantern – one recycled from your old brochure! To
hang up your lantern, attach two wires as shown, then adjust
length of wire to hang where you want it to be. |
